Carrot seed essential oil is extracted from the seed of the daucus carota plant. Its warm, earthy aroma is soothing and blends well with several complimentary oils. When added to a carrier oil, carrot seed essential oil has antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties that make it beneficial to the skin and respiratory system.
Practical Benefits and Uses
- Anti-microbial- In a glass spray bottle combine 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup distilled water and 20 drops of carrot seed oil. Allow to sit on surfaces 15 minutes before wiping away. Add complimentary oils if desired.
- Cuts & Scrapes- Combine 6 drops carrot seed oil and 1/4 cup distilled water in a small dark spray bottle. Mist over cuts and scrapes for antimicrobial action.
- Respiratory- Add 10 drops to a cold air humidifier. Allow to run to clean the air and relieve the symptoms. Alternatively, inhale directly from the bottle.
